Shrack (116 washington ave)
shraaack
Observatory Hill Dining Room, McCormick Road, Charlottesville, VA, USA
Hellooooo aspiring shredders of O-Hill!! It has been o-so long since the bikes have touched o-hill soil, and they NEED your help. Caked in dust, must, and hopefully not crust, they’ve travelled far and wide, passing by more Buc-ees billboards than one could fathom. They LONG for o-hill, help me rid their homesickness by learning how to mountain bike on the O-Hill trails.
During the ride, we will cover basic body position, braking, shifting, and everything to help you feel comfortable on the bike. The pace will be nice and slow with lots of breaks. The only prerequisite for this trip is being able to ride a bike comfortably and safely. Mtn biking can be considered dangerous and has inherent risks, so if you have any questions about it please shoot me a text at 703-519-6776 and I’ll offer some wise wise wisdom.
***this trip isn’t necessarily first come first serve, as removal from the waitlist will be based on bike size availability, however we will try our best to go in order of sign ups***
Also, it’s gonna be HOT, be prepared.

Water! and a small backpack to carry it, unless it will fit in a bike water bottle cage
